Between 2009 and 2014 we were just a clearing house for what seemed like hundreds of bang average footballers. Under Karanka we seemed to be getting through that phase up till promotion in 2016, and we're now stuck back in a similar situation. There were still some headscratchers during Karanka's time here too.
Leroy Lita was one for me. One of the daftest footballers I've ever watched. Nicky Bailey, because he took his dreadful wife with him.
